I can just hear them now

How could you let us down?

But they don't know what I found

Or see it from this way 'round

Feeling it overtake

All that I used to hate

Worried 'bout every trait

I tried but it's way too late

All the signs I don't read

Two sides of me can't agree

When I breathe in too deep

Going with what I always longed for

Feel like a brand new person (But you make the same ol' mistakes)

Well, I don't care, I'm in love (Stop before it's too late, I know...)

Feel like a brand new person (But you make the same ol' mistakes)

I finally know what it's like (You don't have what it takes)

(Stop before it's too late)

(I know there's too much at stake)

Making the same mistakes (And I still don't know why it's happening)

Stop while it's not too late (And I still don't know)

Finally taking flight

I know you don't think it's right

I know that you think it's fake

Maybe fake's what I like

Point is I have the right

Not thinking in black and white

Thinking it's worth the fight

Soon to be out of sight

Knowing it all this time

Going with what I always longed for

Feel like a brand new person (But you make the same ol' mistakes)

Well, I don't care, I'm in love (Stop before it's too late, I know...)

Feel like a brand new person (But you make the same ol' mistakes)

So how do I know that it's right? (You don't have what it takes)

(Stop before it's too late)

And I know that it's hard to digest

But maybe your story ain't so different from the rest

And I know it seems wrong to accept

But you've got your demons and she's got her regrets

And I know that it's hard to digest

A realization is as good as a guess

And I know it seems wrong to accept

But you've got your demons and she's got her regrets

Feel like a brand new person

So how will I know that it's right?

In a new direction

So how will I know I've gone too far?

Stop thinking you're the only option, oh

Feel like a brand new person

I finally know what it's like

Stop thinking you're the only option

In a new direction

So how will I know I've gone too far?

Stop thinking you're the only option

Feel like a brand new person

And I don't know how to describe

Stop thinking you're the only option

I finally know what it's like

Stop thinking you're the only option
